Hi there – am no techie so I have a problem which needs advice from some of you people better placed to advise.
Just bought my son an Inspiron 6400 laptop from Dell – using AOL ‘Netgear’ router – when we try to connect to the home network we get a message ‘Limited or Low Connectivity’ – anyone got any ideas what might be the problem and of course, how to fix???

at the minute it is right besdie the router - but ultimately the router will be in a computor room underneath wooden stairs (large victorian house) and 1 floor removed from the laptop

With it nexted to the router you still get the low or limited connection

26 Dec 2006

yes - am trying it with 6 inches of the router

are you asked for a security key or password cause most wireless routers have built in security restricting access

26 Dec 2006

sure am - but the offending message appears after the password etc have been keyed in

Have you tried switching of or reseting the router
also where did you get the password from

26 Dec 2006

have tried both off and reset - password is the one used for the network - isn't this the one you meant??

Maybe the two of them just don't have any chemistry?

No there is a seperate one on the router you need to access the router setup programme
